he's got it
by Charlie Morgani wait for the day to crack,
spill its yellow sunlight;
reptilian life can now stir,
as mamallian life starts its
trek into the unknowing day.
kitchen lights hide bruises,
and broken hearts, kids sleep
buried in the innocence of youth;
a threadbare existence of squares
and round holes, call upon St. Jude;
9-5 jobs tamp so many tightly held dreams;
a lizard awaits movements, so do others.
a lazy creek smiles its morning away;
giving life to a microcosm of animal-life.
a 5yr. old. says 'his lizards are beings;
we are human beings'. i nod, the boy has it. 06/22/2011 Posted on 06/22/2011
